Max admitted that he just drove there knowing that there would be no room.
The stewards stated, quite correctly, that Max hadn't got the move done in T1 and therefore was in no position to expect to take in T2. They said that Hamilton could have given a little more room but that the collision was predominantly Max's fault.
Stewards are always correct when my driver isn't the one that is getting penalized otherwise they suck and I don't agree with them!
Yep pretty much every HAM fan on here blamed VER for the Silverstone accident regardless of the stewards decision and wording. It’s that bias that does my head in. So will be the last post on the subject for me.
Until the two of them realise that they are going to have to change, this will keep happening. They both can do clean driving but have decided not to give an inch to one another. It’ll keep ending in tears - and it’ll cost them and their teams next year.
Good point.
FIA started to look into "teammate battles" which is a good thing. Finally they penalized moves like Ocon and Stroll, in the past these unbearable unscure $hit moves would have been unpenalized.
I hope they start making similar sense with crashes that can be avoided by both drivers. Ver against Ham here and Monza were perfect examples for situations where both can and have to avoid the crash, where both can avoid spraying the track with carbon parts for the others, where both can avoid another stupid SC.
There is nothing wrong with giving one more than the other if he deserves more, like 10sec vor Ver and 5sec for Ham. But just coin tossing a 5sec to one of them when both obviously can not drive next to each other is nonsense.
